In the light of some of the major blows we have had in the music world in 2016, I've begun to re-prioritize my musical outings a bit. Jerry Jeff Walker is one particular Texas music legend that I had never seen live, so I fixed that this past Friday night at Gruene Hall! If you're unfamiliar with Gruene Hall's seated shows, the half of the hall closest to the stage is set up with rows of chairs, and the back half and sides are set up with the picnic tables. Everything is on a first come, first serve basis, but there isn't a bad place in Gruene Hall to watch a show from. I sat in the chairs near the stage so I was up close since this was my first time to see him! He sounds great, he played all your favorite Jerry Jeff songs, including not only those he wrote, but songs by Guy Clark, Ray Wylie Hubbard and others. He also sang a little Haggard! The video below gives you a taste of the show, but I highly recommend seeing him for yourself, too!
